Yes. Your bell was manufactured for Montgomery Ward, the giant mail order retailer, around the date marked, but probably not by "Lakeside Foundry of Chicago." Lakeside is a Ward's brand that was used to identify many different types of merchandise -- from guns to records -- manufactured for Montgomery Ward by well-known companies. Ward had a policy prohibiting their suppliers from placing their own brand name on products made for Ward.

The origin of your bell is uncertain; however, there has been some speculation that at least some of them were made by C. S. Bell, of Hillsboro, OH. There are no contemporary imitations of that product.

Lakeside Foundry of Chicago was actually located in Erie, PA, but was owned and operated by Montgomery Ward (of Chicago) c. 1904-1920, which is much later than the date on your bell. The Pennsylvania foundry made cast iron stoves and related items.

What is the value of an 1886 school bell from Lakeside Foundry of Chicago?

Well, honey, that all depends on the condition, size, and historical significance of the bell.
